Of the mentioned number of client feedback, 3,008 came from text messages; 1,344 were received through telephone calls; 456 emails; 954 via Facebook; and 683 from the PACC.

“Mahalaga ang feedback ng ating mga kababayan. Ang mga rekalamo ng ating mga stakeholders, kahit anonymous, ay binibigyang-pansin ng TESDA. This is one way of improving the quality of service given by TESDA. I have reminded our officers to handle all complaints efficiently through our Customer Satisfaction Management System Procedures Manual,” explained Lapeña.

Lapeña added that client complaints and feedback are essential to further improve the quality of service provided by TESDA.
